Chia Energy Bars

In my search for healthy recipes, I came across these chia energy bars. (http://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/chia-energy-bars-recipe)

I made this first batch following the recipe (although I did almost forget to add the egg white:) but plan to modify future batches to reduce sugar and fat; not an easy task since many healthy foods (e.g., nuts and fruit) are high in fat and sugar respectively). The recipe does use only the egg white so that helps reduce the fat somewhat. Quinoa is a surprising addition in these bars and the other ingredients (chia seed, oats, honey, cranberries, flax meal, almond butter) are healthy; portion size is key but that takes a lot of will power when you're the baker:)

The finished product cooling on the rack.

Cut into 9 bars; I quickly froze some so I wouldn't eat all in one sitting:)
